RWT Themeable Widgets
Identifier:
org.eclipse.rap.ui.themeableWidgets
Since:
RAP 1.0
Description:
This extension point is used to register custom RWT widgets which also support theming.
To support theming, a widget provides a couple of files that are relevant for the theming. These files must conform to a naming convention. Once a custom widget is registered with this extension point, the theme-relevant files are found by their names. Thus, only the custom widget class must be registered.
The custom widget must provide the theme-relevant files in a package with is named after the schema <package>.internal.<widget>kit where <package> is the package name and <widget> is the lower case class name of the custom control. This is the same package that also contains the lifecycle adapter (LCA).
Theming relevant files include:
- A theme definiton file with the name
<Widget>.theme.xml. This file defines new theming keys.
- A theme adapter class that implements
IControlThemeAdapter and is named <Widget>ThemeAdapter. The theme adapter provides the control with the current values of theming-dependent properties.
- An appearance fragment file with the name
<Widget>.appearances.js. This file defines new qooxdoo appearances.
None of these files are mandatory, files which are found are respected, but files which are missing do not hurt.
